"Many people experience poverty, hunger, violence, discrimination as a disadvantage due to their gender, sexual orientation, origin, skin color, age, physical and mental condition. Many of these structural disadvantages can affect any of us at any time. Social work aims to progress human dignity. Social work is urgently needed in the rapidly changing local, national and global political spectrum’s as well as in all aspects of economic, cultural, ecological and technological platforms. I, therefore, welcome you to this study program, so that we can contribute by ensuring that those who are unfairly disadvantaged are not left behind."
